Georgia May (Edmundson) Honeysett, Janesville, WI (1934-2013)

Georgia May (Edmundson) Honeysett, age 79, of Janesville, passed away Monday, Nov. 11, 2013, at Heartwarming House, Milton, following a long struggle with Parkinson's Disease. She was born Oct. 4, 1934, in Janesville, the daughter of the late Delbert and Flossie (Bouton) Edmundson. She was a graduate of Beloit Memorial High School. Georgia and her husband of 60 years, Ralph W. Honeysett, were the longtime proprietors of Honeysett's Variety Store in Footville, and she also operated The Handy Horseman Tack Shop in that same location. She loved spending time with her horses for all of her life, and was an active member of the Golden Valley Riders and the Rock County 4-H Horse Project. She spent many years as a scout leader for the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, and also the Explorers. For recreation, when not riding, she enjoyed line dancing, trick roping, dominoes, and was an excellent seamstress. Her family and friends recall times spent with her as she shared her love of horses, and gave many their first horseback ride! Georgia started the Footville Village Rummage Sale so she wouldn't miss a bargain! She was a longtime member of First Christian Church in Janesville.

Memorial Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 15, 2013, at FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH, 1909 Highland Ave., with Rev DeeAnn Woods officiating. Private interment will take place in Grove Cemetery, Center Township. Friends may call on Thursday evening from 5 until 7 p.m. at the WHITCOMB-LYNCH FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, or on Friday morning from 10 until 10:30 a.m. at the CHURCH.

Georgia's family would like to extend their sincerest thanks and appreciation to the wonderful, caring staffs of Agrace HospiceCare, Inc. and Heartwarming House for their care and compassion shown to Georgia during her final weeks.
